help with multiple buttons

[sawyer]

hi all it has been a while since i used APMS
so if anyone can help me with this it would be much appreciated

i have 7 buttons and 7 images on a page.
i would like to be able to click button 7 and check if button 1 is enabled if it is
then set image 1 enabled and visible,if it not then check if button 2 is enabled
if it is then set image 2 enabled and visible,if its not then check if button 3 is enabled if it is then set image 3 enabled and visible,if not then check 4,if not then check 5 and so on

if anyone has an example how to do this or any help it is much appreciated

Thanks sawyer

ok, heres how i would do it,

first make 2 tables containing the button and image names

tblButtons={}
tblButtons[1]="Button1"
tblButtons[2]="Button2"
tblButtons[3]="Button3"
tblButtons[4]="Button4"
tblButtons[5]="Button5"
tblButtons[6]="Button6"
tblButtons[7]="Button7"

tblImages={}
tblImages[1]="Image1"
tblImages[2]="Image2"
tblImages[3]="Image3"
tblImages[4]="Image4"
tblImages[5]="Image5"
tblImages[6]="Image6"
tblImages[7]="Image7"

then use a for loop to check the buttons
for index, Button in tblButtons do
if Button.IsEnabled(Button) then
tbImageProps={}
tbImageProps.Enabled=true
tbImageProps.Visible=true
Image.SetProperties(tblImages[index], tbImageProps);
break
end
end

the above code is not tested, its off the top of my head but it should work

Another way you could do it is name the buttons but1,but2 etc and name the images img1,img2,img3 etc.
Then in your Global functions have;-

function CheckButtons()
local inc =0;
for inc=1,7 do
if Button.IsEnabled("but"..inc) == true then
Image.SetVisible("img"..inc, true)
return
end
end
end


Then just link the function to button7.
